A personal thank you to Cor van der Heuval for the book that got me started with haiku:the first edition of The Haiku Anthology.This one, though, is signed.So is Cor’s other gift, a signed hardcopy of the Anthology’s latest edition.

I do believe we have the honor of debuting this fully-illustrated haiku collection for children by our friend, Kala Ramesh, who is doing so much to nurture haiku in her native India.

And -- count them -- two award-winning collections of beautiful work from Acorn editor, Carolyn Hall: How to Paint the Finch's Song from Red Moon Press- read a review of it here. The other book is Water Lines. Read its review here.
